Don't You Dare Mess With Our Tradition
For as long as I could remember, Thanksgiving Day has always meant one thing to me; family, good food, and Dallas Cowboys football. For almost a decade, envious team owners have bemoaned the fact that the Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions play at home each Thanksgiving Day. They raise the issue at every owners meeting, but nobody has ever paid any real attention to their gripes, not even the NFL commissioner, that is until Roger [...]

Could the Cowboys Benefit From a Steelers Victory?
Wow, it’s finally Friday. What a week it’s been for me. Bad weather, icy roads, and embarrassing rap songs. Well, thankfully, the sun has come out and hopefully everything has dried up. The Super Bowl is in two days and I don’t even feel in the mood to watch football. Usually, by the time ‘Super Sunday’ comes around I’ve gotten over whatever happened to my team that kept them from being in the big game. Plus, [...]

Cowboys Not "Cornered" in '09
The 2009 season presents two strong options at the cornerback position for the Dallas Cowboys. Scenario one would be to move the aging Anthony Henry to free safety (a position he tinkered with in college), move Ken “The Hammer” Hamlin back to his natural position at strong safety and cut Roy “Superman” Williams. This would allow Mike Jenkins and Orlando Scandrick to move up to the #2 and nickel positions respectively. It would also allow [...]

Dan Reeves Is The Cure For The Cowboys
As you may have heard already, Dan Reeves is close to becoming a consultant for the Dallas Cowboys, whatever that means. Reeves has been in retirement since he last coached the Atlanta Falcons in 2003. The Dallas Cowboys website has a nice snapshot of his ties to the organization. He played running back in Dallas for seven seasons (1965-72) and started coaching in 1972 as an offensive assistant to Tom Landry. In 1981, he became [...]

Finding That Blue And Silver Lining
There are times, in life, when things aren’t going exactly as you would hope. In those times it is difficult to remain positive. Focusing on the negative just seems so much more natural. I know it sure is true in my case. I can’t speak for you of course. We all handle things in our own way. Some manage to look on the bright side no matter what. I, for one, could learn a lot [...]

Is Anyone At Valley Ranch Ever Going To Put Their Foot Down?
This afternoon The Dallas Morning News posted this article: Dallas Cowboys tight end Martellus Bennett released a song on YouTube that uses derogatory terms to describe African-Americans and gays. Bennett, who is African-American, wears a white, autographed Cowboys helmet during the video, which lasts almost three minutes. “I shouldn’t cuss that much,” Bennett said. “I’ve been listening to [rapper] Too Short too much.” Dessie Brown Jr., Bennett’s friend, released the video to select media members [...]

Jerry Jones Needs to Learn When to "Just Say No"
To begin with, let me just say that I love the Dallas Cowboys. I have an incredible passion for this team, it’s so much more to me than a game or money or fame. Some of my favorite moments in life have been spent watching the Cowboys with friends and family. With that said, I am very disappointed in this organization. I have heard for years from the media and ‘haters’ how Jerry Jones is a sellout and would do [...]

Michael Irvin To Host Cowboys Reality Show
In the age of American Idol and Survivor it shouldn’t come as a great shock that the Dallas Cowboys are getting in on the action. According to reports Michael Irvin has pitched an idea for a football based reality show that will have the winner taking the last spot on the 80-man roster heading into training camp. Irvin:”I don’t know if you can walk upon any group of guys that wouldn’t say they dreamed of [...]

The Cowboys Should Take A Long Look At Haynesworth
After reading Nate’s well researched and very informative post entitled “Drawing The Defensive Line For 2009“, I was compelled to write about one of the available free agents that he had listed. One of the things that frustrated me most about the Cowboys in 2008, was how temperamental our defense seemed last season. One moment hot, the next cold… When the game started the defense would come out of the gate like gangbusters, but by the end [...]
